Ellen Allien 'Not Alone' (BPitch Control)
A long-serving techno connoisseur, Ellen Allien drops a new EP on her own highly respected BPitch Control label. It’s her first outing on the label for a little while, and it definitely doesn’t disappoint. ‘Not Alone’ has a brooding start, with tension building steadily and quite subtly. A distorted voice adds to the eerie quality of this track as it works towards a slight dip, after which she ramps up the energy levels with a devastating slice of anarchic techno.
8/10
